The Shrink Wrap Machine Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) is a guide for operating a turntable shrink wrap machine safely, from the hazards and precautions to a step-by-step guide to wrapping a load.
It covers the hazards (noise, electricity, moving and hot objects, manual handling and poor housekeeping), operator training and competency, the pre-operational inspection, machine installation and film loading, maintenance under LOTO procedures, and operation.
A hazard checklist for powered non-mobile plant, with Y, N and NA for each item, helps confirm the machine's safety measures are in place.
